Η China, once again performed her miracle by making a mask which can detect various microorganisms and germs
Specifically, the job of this beneficial mask is to protect us from viruses such as the coronavirus (COVID-2) and influenza (H5N1 and H1N1). The highly sensitive mask can warn us every time we come into contact with a case, ten minutes of conversation with an infected person is enough for the mask to do its job.
The researchers, led by Dr Yin Fang University's Tongzhi of Shanghai, made the relevant publication in the journal for new materials "Matter».
The mask has a small special sensor with a synthetic molecule that "captures" the unique proteins of a pathogenic virus in the air, even in imperceptible amounts, much smaller than those contained in a cough or sneeze. When the sensor detects the virus, a transistor in the mask amplifies the signal and sends the relevant warning to the mobile phone of the person wearing the mask.
«Our mask works really well in poorly ventilated areas such as elevators or closed rooms where the risk of contamination is highFang stated. He added that if a new respiratory virus emerges in the future, the sensor can easily be modified to detect the new microorganism as well.
The researchers hope to improve the mask, further reducing the minimum virus detection time and increasing the sensitivity of the sensor.
